<br />Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners Shoreline Master Program Adopting Ordinance <br />Kittitas County Shoreline Master Program Exhibit D | March 2016 | Page 273 of 339 <br /> <br />4. In addition to the general mitigation plan requirements described above, the wildlife habitat <br />management and mitigation plan shall contain a report containing, but not limited to, the <br />following information: <br />a. A map or maps indicating the boundary of the habitat conservation areas; the width and <br />length of all existing and proposed structures, utilities, roads, easements; wastewater <br />and stormwater facilities; adjacent land uses, zoning districts and comprehensive plan <br />designations; <br />b. A description of the proposed project including the nature, density and intensity of the <br />proposed use or development and the associated grading, structures, roads, easements, <br />wastewater facilities, stormwater facilities, utilities, etc., in sufficient detail to allow <br />analysis of such land use change upon the habitat conservation area; <br />c. A description of the vegetation in the habitat conservation area, on the overall project <br />site and adjacent to the site; <br />d. A detailed description of the proposed project’s effect on the habitat conservation area, <br />and a discussion of any federal, state, or local management recommendations which <br />have been developed for the species or habitats in the area; and <br />e. An explanation of how any adverse impacts created by the proposed use or <br />development will be mitigated, including the following techniques: <br />i. Establishment of buffer zones; <br />ii. Preservation of critically important plants and trees; <br />iii. Limitation of access to the habitat conservation area; <br />iv. Seasonal restriction of construction activities; and <br />v. Establishment of a timetable for periodic review of the plan. <br />17B.05.020O Geologically hazardous areas – designation, classification, and mapping. <br />1. Designation: Lands classified as landslide, erosion, mine, volcanic, and seismic hazard <br />areas are hereby designated as geologically hazardous areas and are subject to the <br />standards of this Section. <br />2. Classification: Landslide hazard areas – lands potentially subject to landslides based on a <br />combination of geologic, topographic, and hydrologic factors. They include any areas <br />susceptible because of any combination of bedrock, soil, slope (gradient), slope aspect, <br />structure, hydrology, or other factors. The following shall be designated as landslide hazards <br />and are subject to the requirements of this Section: <br />a. Areas of historic failures, such as: <br />iv. Those areas delineated by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as <br />having a “severe” limitation for building site development; or <br />v. Those areas mapped as landslides, as having a liquefaction susceptibility, or <br />having a NEHPR seismic site class of A through D on the most current Washington <br />State Department of Natural Resources Division of Geology and Earth Resources <br />natural hazards web based map; or <br />vi. Areas designated as quaternary slumps, earth-flows, mudflows, lahars, or <br />landslides on maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey or Washington State <br />Department of Natural Resources Division of Geology and Earth Resources. <br />b. Areas with all three (3) of the following characteristics: <br />i. Slopes steeper than fifteen percent (15%); <br />ii. Hillsides intersecting geologic contacts with a relatively permeable sediment <br />overlying a relatively impermeable sediment or bedrock; and <br />iii. Springs or groundwater seepage. <br />c. Areas that have shown movement during the Holocene epoch (from 10,000 years ago to <br />the present) or which are underlain or covered by mass wastage debris of this <br />epoch;
